I can't speak for your local area coverage (I'm in central Calgary and get great reception), but when roaming outside of your home area, Freedom phones roam on the Rogers network. All of the Freedom "Big Gig" plans include unlimited nationwide roaming. Therefore, when making a decision whether or not to go with Freedom, roaming coverage really shouldn't be a factor.
So far most of what this guy said seems to be nonsense about getting 6 gigs plans data plans for $10. No company offers it. Very confused as I spend like 20 mins looking at them all and it very coincide with the information this guy left on the later half of his video. I left him a long reply, I hope he gets back. Honestly just looking for the plan that he's talking about as I could really use it. It's like $30 for 1 gig of tablet data from Toronto companies. He says it's like $10 for 6 gigs. I'm wondering if we're living in the same Toronto 😂
We've been with freedom for 8 yrs the reason why we move to another network because there's no signal at our cottage . It's a family plan under one account that means every month for me and my husband is one bill. And pay it all at once all the time.After He canceled 60 days later we received a bill that needs to be pay.How come we will pay the bill? The fact that we canceled it already?When we canceled it its all paid we don't have balance no more and now we still have balance to pay???
When you switch networks you are still liable for one month of service. The network provider who you switched to should have told you this when you do a port-in activation.
Also IPhones have been known to use intel modems instead of Qualcomm which isn't great. If you want a phone that has amazing reception your best bet is a Samsung phone.
What would you suggest for Notebooks mobile internet? A bigger mobile phone plan to share the wifi to the notebook or something just dedicated to the notebook itself?
@@seenarahimi9514 there’s no discount, the total amount for the phone you are paying for is incorporated into the total phone plan. They make the money back over the course of 24 months
Thats incorrect. There's a $340 discount. Do the math. iPhone 12 Pro - 256GB is $1549 retail at the Apple Store. Freedom only adds an additional $50 on top of your current plan for the tab. 50 x 24 is $1200. Now some might argue that you are paying through your plan as well, however you were going to pay that regardless if you upgraded or not.
Other providers give you a discount but you must return the phone at the end of your term with zero defects. Freedom just gives you the phone at the end of the term.
I was tempted to go with Freedom; but.. I work out of the city and work that I won't get any reception at work. And works wifi sucks major 90's style lol!
I have Telus, I live in the middle of Edmonton , and I have 1 bar of service at home 100% of the time. No matter who you go with, the service is the exact same BECAUSE (spoiler) they all use the same network ffs. Everything problem this guy describes I have with Telus.
Bell made and owns all the network's. Some companies doing 5G can build there own mesh networks so get ready for some competition soon as they won't have to pay bell, they can just install there own network with 5G routers outside.
Umm, that's where you'd be wrong. Telus and Bell maintain their separate networks but share coverage with each other. Rogers operates an entirely separate network. Freedom operates yet another separate network in certain cities - their customers roam on Rogers' network when outside of those cities.

idk.. im gonna give their prepaid unlimited nationwide text, talk, video message for $129 a year. i only need it for calls and text anyways. anyone have experience with this plan please share your thoughts.
This is absurd ... !!! As of June 12, 2020 under Freedom's (and Shaw's) "Fair Usage Policy" (it's an actual thing), "All calls will be disconnected and require a re-dial after a 2 hour duration." And "Freedom Mobile may, at its option, terminate or suspend your service [if] ... Voice calls that are deemed to have abnormal durations. For example: many short calls to different phone numbers or few calls of long duration."

I have never had issues with the network. when I go up north it switches to roaming and works normaly
Roaming costs hella money. You can buy a roaming packing though, that's what I'll probably do if going to the states.
@@KyleTO7 I am talking about roaming inside Canada... freedom mobile will jump to bell or telus networks when you are not in the freedom zone
@@gatocolombiano16 yes but the roaming fees a very high inside Canada still.

I hate you freedom !!!

Freedom works good in cities!! For roaming you need plans with roaming data.
All of the Big Gig plans include this.
Wait. IPhones are now just getting wifi calling? Ive been using it on my Samsung phones for a while now.
when will maiku upload a vid again? its been 2 weeks now :(
Don’t worry. We making a comeback.
@@VenusandMaiku thankss maiku, merry Christmas.

Just get an iPad plan with a wifi hotspot. It’s like $10 for 6gb from the big mobile providers.
Are we supposed to return the phone after 2 years
no, the phone is yours
@@jinh357 so i got more than 300$ discount?

I have Koodo and I like them. Price is good and reception is good too
If you have your own phone, public mobile is the best as it has alot for cheap
I want to support them but yeah not sure about the service. Maybe I'll get a sim and try it first

I very much enjoy mine as well
Interesting! Nice video. They are still same interim of network issues
No change yet.✌️
The iPhone 5S and above has WI-FI calling and the iPhone 6 above has VoLTE
idk.. im gonna give their prepaid unlimited nationwide text, talk, video message for $129 a year. i only need it for calls and text anyways. anyone have experience with this plan please share your thoughts.
DONT unless u like HEADACHES
I rather stay with them than being with Rogers/Bell
I think rogers owns shaw now
I think Rogers bought shaw so Rogers owns freedom now.
Shaw owns freedom
Not yet.

That explains why the CRA hung up on me after two hours.
@@VenusandMaiku lmao
It honestly weakened as time went on, I will probably run away from freedom soon (puns intended)
Worst company, 3rd party customer service thats not even in north America, if you get someone, the will put you on hold and hang up on you.
Probably going to be shutdown when Rogers’ Shaw acquisition gets approved.
video is unwatchable with that background music noise. why would you have music playing in a talking video?
5g service has been put on hold
Really? Then why does my Freedom phone here in Calgary get 5G service?
I don’t want any 5 g so I’m good to go to freedom lol
Rogers Bell Telus =RoBus
